'A Complete History of the World: Sino-Japanese, Korean, and Chinese', Finally Completed!

The "Full-fledged Korean-Chinese-Japanese World History" series, which has been ongoing since 2017, has finally reached its final publication after a long journey of 373 webtoon episodes and 20 volumes of 7,032 pages in single volume form.
This series, which vividly depicts the 70-year turmoil in East Asia from the Opium War of 1839 to the Japan-Korea annexation of 1910, has been loved by 150,000 readers as a must-read for a complete understanding of 19th-century world history.
In particular, the unique interpretation and fresh 'drip' of Gupsi-nim, who is called the 'king of historical comics', are appropriately blended, and it has established itself as a series that both 'reverse nerds' and 'reverse idiots' can enjoy together.

In fact, the 19th century in world history is called a beautiful era because it was a complex mosaic of economic and cultural abundance mixed with the dark clouds of imperialism.
On the other hand, the story of Korea, China, and Japan is also included, but it has not been properly viewed until now due to being overshadowed by Western-centric historical narratives.
Amidst such regret, "A Full-Fledged History of Korea, China, and Japan" finally arrives! It unfolds the story of Korea, China, and Japan's tumultuous journey across the globe with a thrilling, epic drama-like narrative, offering a uniquely entertaining experience.

"A Full-Fledged History of Korea, China, and Japan" allows anyone to delve into and savor the vast scale of 19th-century East Asian history.
Although the final chapter is a bad ending of 'national ruin,' the author holds onto the hope that "it is not meaningless to testify to our sense of modern history and to pass on the passion we harbored for history."
Let's follow the pieces of that passion from the beginning to the end of the series.
You will gain unexpected knowledge through unexpected fun!

On Sunday, January 22nd, as scheduled, Father Gapon led a crowd of about 150,000 people in a march toward the Winter Palace.
“Tsar, come on~!!” “May you live long and prosper!” “The Tsar is buying lunch today.” And then, in front of the palace gate, they face the guns of the military troops.
(…) “In that way, the father of the people, the Tsar, became a bloody tyrant in one day.
Starting from this Bloody Sunday, the first Russian Revolution began in 1905, which would plunge Russia into chaos.
If the Japanese had even a small part in this whole situation... wouldn't that be a fascinating story? Haha.

“If only the Baltic Fleet could arrive in the Far East and annihilate the Japanese Navy in a fleet battle… and the losing streak in land battles! and the crazy revolutionary chaos at home!! This one ultimate move that will put an end to everything!! For such a great victory, we’ll need more numbers to win reliably… Wait a little longer so we can gather as much as possible.” “Aaaa ...

The two leading battleships of the Baltic Fleet, the flagship Suvorov and Oslavia, were hit by a concentrated barrage of over 100 shells and were largely disabled within 20 minutes of the start of the battle.
(…) “I didn’t know he could be so defeated;;” (…) “The shocking appearance of an Asian rookie on the main stage of world history, the game board of the great powers, exclusive to Western white nations! The crazy number that suddenly appeared in the first roll of the dice that determined the course of 20th century world history, where will this century lead!!!”

The Great Game between Britain and Russia, which had lasted for over 90 years, effectively ended with Russia's crushing defeat - (...) The end of the Great Game opened the way for improved relations between Britain and Russia! "Gasp!!ㅠㅠ Finally! ;ㅁ; The gimmick of enemies becoming comrades is always touching!!" While the grand plan for the Great Britain-France-Russia-Germany encirclement strategy was being drawn, no one wanted Russia to be fatally wounded and bleed from a stab wound by the likes of Japan.
“Ha, so I should definitely collect the small rewards first…” (…) And the biggest quest reward, the Korean Peninsula.

“Ha… Secretary Taft’s diplomatic failure to visit Korea has already been resolved;; Still, perhaps we can let the American people know about Koreans’ feelings toward Japan through that American princess?” On September 22, the Koreans guided Alice to Empress Myeongseong’s tomb.
“This is the tomb of the late Empress Dowager.
Oh, well, you may have heard, the Japanese came in and killed everyone with swords… “Oh! It’s the petite, pretty Stone Pony~♡!!” This visit left behind a legendary photo of the rudeness.

While the ministers were hesitating, Minister of Education Lee Wan-yong actively advocated for the treaty.
"You know this is all just a formality, whether we agree or not! Since the Russo-Japanese War ended like that, whether or not Baek Yi-suk-jae comes out of here, this country will become a Japanese protectorate within the year.
Since last year, all of our ministers have been branded pro-Japanese by His Majesty. Do you think His Majesty will find it attractive if we try to hold out here pretending to be loyal martyrs? If we act half-heartedly, we'll all end up in the Nakdong River.
You can't be a proper patriot, nor can you be a proper traitor.
In that case, it would be better to…” (…) And so, at 2:00 on November 18, 1905, the 2nd Korea-Japan Agreement was signed.

The Hague Peace Conference, which marked the completion of the 1907 system.
“I was only relying on Russia’s goodwill…” “With Japan stuck in the trilateral negotiations with England, France, and Russia, there’s no way Korea’s appeals will be accepted by the great powers…” “Still, if you want to make even a show of making a move… you have no choice but to send a special envoy;; If you don’t do this as a monarch who went on a path to ruin, won’t you be remembered in history as the person with the highest share of ruined nations;;; You should be cursed less than your father and wife…” Still, if you try to light a small ray of hope, the United States, which led the hosting of this Second Hague Peace Conference - has become quite cold these days.
“We were beaten by the US with the Treaty of Portsmouth…” “JAPS is so ungrateful~”

June 15, 1907, the Second Hague Peace Conference begins.
June 25th, the 10th day of the meeting.
“The Korean delegation! They are trying to enter the conference hall with invitations from Russia!!” “Whoa?!?” The special delegation arrived in The Hague on June 25th, but were denied entry to the conference hall.
(…) Afterwards, the special delegation held a protest in front of the Huis Ten Bosch Palace conference hall, distributing petition pamphlets to the press and citizens.
(…) Despite a three-week public opinion war, the doors of Huis Ten Bosch Palace were ultimately not opened to Koreans.
“Kuhhhh!! Is the justice of the great powers nothing more than a thinly veiled covering for the filthy law of the jungle?!”

Before 1907 ends! Let’s all gather in Yangju! Gather everyone and march on Seoul!!!” The volunteer army leaders from all over the country simultaneously responded to Lee In-young’s buster call.
(…) Now in Yangju!! All together!! 10,000 troops!! 13th Provincial Army!

“While the entire Korean Peninsula was being roughly disinfected, the Deep South, where resistance was most rampant, was the place to be! Wipe out Honam!!” The operation to eradicate the righteous army in 1909 reached its climax with the Great Southern Expedition that took place in September and October.
An extermination operation swept through the Honam region, killing approximately 10,000 people and arresting 2,000.

June 3, 1910, the Japanese government decided to annex Korea.
“The annexed Korean Peninsula will be placed under the Emperor’s supremacy, not under constitutional rule.” In other words, like Taiwan, it will be placed outside the constitutional rule, in an “outside territory.”
“If Ito were alive, his territory, Joseon, would have been under the jurisdiction of the cabinet and ruled by civil officials… but thanks to Ito’s death, the Korean Peninsula was swept under the army’s territory, the Yamagata Line!” In August 1910, Prime Minister Yi Wan-yong and Resident-General Terauchi began negotiations for the annexation of Korea and Japan.
(…) On August 18, the Emperor stamped the power of attorney to promote the annexation treaty.
(…) August 22, 1910, Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty signed.
August 29, 1910, the Korean Empire ceased to exist with the promulgation of the treaty.
